Aluminum fire-resistant honey comb-shaped plate and its manufacturing method

ABSTRACT

An aluminum fire-resistant honeycomb-shaped plate and its manufacturing method includes an aluminum intermediate honeycomb-shaped layer, a layer of gauze adhered respectively on an upper and a lower surface of the intermediate honeycomb-shaped layer, an outer solid aluminum plate adhered respectively on an outer surface of each layer of gauze. The gauze endures high temperature and percolates air. Then the outer surface of each outer solid aluminum plate is anodized with a layer of a chemical to prevent it from getting rusted and then sprayed with a layer of silicon glue to increase hardness of the outer surfaces and beautiful appearance.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to an aluminum fir-resistanthoneycomb-shaped plate and its manufacturing method, particularly to onehaving light, rustproof, fire-resistant, sound-insulating,hitting-enduring, and vibration-enduring properties, possible to beapplied to separating walls of buildings, houses, etc.

[0002] The aluminum fire-resistant honeycomb-shaped plate in theinvention has a certain toughness and hardness in spite of lightness,and can endure vibration of an earthquake and not collapse or break downeven if used in walls of high-rise buildings, keeping people thereinfrom wounded, injured or died. But traditional plastic or wood used forseparating walls cannot endure long or resist fires as the aluminumplate in the invention. In addition, much forests have to be destroyedto get wood, worsening largely ecological environment, and as forplastic, it gives out toxic to pollute air when burned, and notbiodegradable if it is discarded and buried in the ground, also bad toour living environment. On the contrary, aluminum can be recycled,helpful to maintain our living environment clean, and also lowerpossibility of fires from happening much less frequent than wood orplastic.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] This invention has been devised to offer an aluminumfire-resistant honeycomb plate and its manufacturing method, made of twoaluminum plates sandwiching a honeycomb-shaped aluminum layer between,reducing its weight 85% less than common solid aluminum plates,resulting in lower cost. Its manufacturing method produces it withautomation, lessening the number of workers needed as less as possible.

[0004] So expenditure for using the material in the invention asseparating walls in buildings may be almost the same as using wood forseparating walls.

[0005] One feature of the invention is two outer layers of aluminumfire-resistant plates treated with anodizing process so that the twoouter layers may not drop off or erode even if they receive rain ordaylight frequently.

[0006] Another feature of the invention is an intermediatehoneycomb-shaped aluminum layer sandwiched between the two outer solidaluminum plates so as to lighten the weight of the whole aluminum plate,having strong structure, hitting-enduring earthquake-enduring,fire-resistant, enduring and sound-insulating properties.

[0007] The manufacturing method of the aluminum fire-resistant honeycombplate includes several steps shown below.

[0008] Step 1 of making a honeycomb-shaped layer: Place innumerablesmall aluminum wave-bent elongate strips into a machine to make analuminum honeycomb-shaped layer.

[0009] Step 2 of coating a layer of glue: Place a layer of gauge on thetwo outer surface of the honeycomb layer, and then add a layer ofadhesive on the layer of gauge so as to completely adhere the layer ofgauge on the honeycomb-shaped layer.

[0010] Step 3 of placing two aluminum plates: place and adhere two solidaluminum plates on the two side surfaces of the honeycomb layer by usingthe same process used in the step 2.

[0011] Step 4 of anodizing treatment: anodize the outer surfaces of thetwo outer aluminum plates with a chemical, preventing them from gettingrusted.

[0012] Step 5 of spraying a layer of silicon glue: Spray a layer ofcolored silicon glue on the outer surfaces of the aluminum platefinished the step 4, increasing hardness of its outer strength andbeauty.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0018] A preferred embodiment of an aluminum fire-resistant honeycombplate in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1-4, includes analuminum intermediate honey-comb shaped layer 1, two layers of gauze 2respectively adhered on two side surfaces of the intermediate honeycombshaped layer 1, and two outer solid aluminum plates 4 respectivelyadhered on the two gauze layers.

[0019] The aluminum intermediate honeycomb-shaped layer 1 is made of aplurality of wave-bent elongate aluminum strips 10 adhered with oneanother in separated points mode with an automatic machine.

[0020] The two gauge layers 2 are respectively adhered on an upper and alower side of the intermediate honeycomb shaped layer 1, havinghigh-temperature-resistant and percolating property.

[0021] The two solid aluminum plates 4 are respectively adhered on anouter surface of each gauge layer 2.

[0022] Further, the outer surfaces of the two solid aluminum plates 4are coated with a layer of a chemical 5 by means of anodizing to preventthe aluminum plates 4 from getting rusted, and then the whole aluminumfire-resistant honeycomb-shaped plate is sprayed to have a layer ofsilicon glue 6 of a color to increase hardness of the outer surfaces andthe outer beautiful appearance. Then the aluminum fire-resistanthoneycomb-shaped plate in the invention has very high fire-resistantproperty, not liable to get eroded, and large roughness, excellentearthquake enduring buffer strength due to the small elongate aluminumstrips forming a honeycomb shape. In addition, the two outer solidaluminum plates 4 have hard outer surfaces to endure hitting by means ofa layer of silicon glue 6.

[0023] Next, the manufacturing method of the aluminum fire-resistanthoneycomb-shaped plate has five steps described below.

[0024] A first step is to make an aluminum honeycomb-shaped layer bypreparing a plurality of wave-bent elongate aluminum strips and thenadhered one another with glue with an automatic machine:

[0025] A second step is to adhere a layer of gauze respectively on anupper and a lower surface of the aluminum honeycomb-shaped layer, saidgauze possible to endure high temperature and percolate air.

[0026] A third step is to adhere a solid aluminum plate respectively onthe upper and the lower surface of the two layers of gauze.

[0027] A fourth step is to coat a layer of a chemical by means ofanodizing process on an outer surface of each of the two solid aluminumplates to prevent them from getting

[0028] A fifth step is to spray a layer of silicon glue of a color onthe whole outer surface of the aluminum fire-resistant honeycomb-shapedplate to augment hardness of its outer surface and beautiful appearance.
